HUBBARD, Ore. (KOIN 6) — A wounded and endangered owl found in the roadway by two women suffered an unrecoverable shoulder injury, Clackamas County officials said.

Savana Biggart, of Canby, and Jessica Montgomery, of Aurora, were driving along South Barlow Road and Highway 211 around 3 a.m. Monday morning when they saw “eyes in the roadway,” the sheriff’s office said.

The two turned their vehicle around to get a better look and found an adult barn owl in the street unable to fly. Biggart and Montgomery called the sheriff’s office non-emergency number.

The owl was then stabilized, placed in a container and transported to Northwest Veterinary Specialists.
